Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Some more 9 imagery for you
I'm currently working out the last few tangles on a big project which I'll announce here, in the meantime why don't you enjoy some more exclusive images from 9? I've got something more substantial and more critical on the film coming soon - stay tuned!
4th of July, Niskayuna (SteelyKid and The Pip)
It's Independence Day here in the US, so here are some patriotic kid photos for you. "Wait a minute," you say, "That featured image doesn't have any flags or fireworks or gilled meat products! How is that patriotic?" "Ah," I reply,"It was taken at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC last weekend." Game. Set. Match. Here are a couple of other pictures from that visit: The Pip is…
Raging Bullsh*t, part 3: Antivaccine celebrity Robert De Niro says he's teaming up with Harvey Weinstein to make a vaccine documentary
Sigh. Here we go again. Robert De Niro is letting his antivaccine freak flag fly again, this time even higher than usual, by revealing that in the wake of the antivaccine debacle at his Tribeca Film Festival he is going to make his very own documentary about vaccines. It’s the continuation of a process that, depressingly, revealed Robert De Niro to be perhaps the biggest A-list antivaccine…
